Sample Email Cover Letter

• An email cover letter is your sales pitch to the company you are applying to.  
• An email cover letter is not a summary of your resume and it doesn't replace a resume.
• The main objective of the email cover letter & resume is to get the employer interested in calling you for an interview.

• Each email cover letter or job application letter should be tailored for the position and company you are applying to.
• Check job application closing dates and always apply early. 
• An email cover letter should be a brief and simple one page email.
• Use Strong Action Verbs & phrases to describe yourself, your skills and your strengths.
• You can prepare a general email cover letter, which must be edited for each specific job.
